I've seen weirdly formatted text called Zalgo like below written on various forums. It's kind of annoying to look at, but it really bothers me because it undermines my notion of what a character is supposed to be. My understanding is that a character is supposed to move horizontally across a line...

Whilst I'm waiting for the OS to install (I didn't bother with a refresh @MichaelFrank), I'm thinking about my major uni project. Just a list of ideas at the moment. I have an app on my ipad which turns handwriting into calculations.

I have a motherboard that supports 8 GB and has 4 240-pin slots.
I only have sticks of DDR3, 240-pin 1 GB RAM sticks.
Will a single one—or more work—or does it have to be in specific increments (e.g., 2 at least, because it has 8 GB max and divided by 4 it’s 2)?

You can encrypt a compressed file but compressing an encrypted file should be useless. I'm going to give you an insanely oversimplified version but you should be able to get the idea.
I have the text:

oh god, you know what the worst thing for sleep inhibition is? back when I was interning in California, there were these guys who'd weed whack and use leaf blowers for like 2 hours first thing in the morning, and there was absolutely no way to shut them up, and the constant on-off cycles of the equipment would keep you waking up

I'm not sure how they stack up compared to using liquid fuel in turbojets or turbofans, but I'm a good third of way around the planet after traveling at mach 0.9 at 2-3 km, and I've barely used 12 units of liquid fuel

@Bob yeah -- it uses a resource called "FScoolant" which the Firespitter dev says IS atmospheric air, except that it has the "intake" built into the propeller (because it's a propeller and you don't need a separate intake)

basically, you turn off your engines and flare hard as you're coming down toward the target (nose up), and pray you don't stall -- if you do stall, your craft needs MOAR WINGS, because wings give you lift, and lift decreases your Vmin (minimum velocity that will not stall)

the first thing you should do is perform various tests by taking off safely, get up to a decent altitude (at least 1000 meters), then gradually reduce your speed until you are no longer able to keep the aircraft from going nose-down (with SAS and RCS disabled)

then modify the craft until the speed at which it starts to do that is lower

then do that some more until it's quite a nice low number, like 45 m/s or less

once you stall at 45 m/s or less, you can land very slowly and thus land on a precise, small target

coming in at 100 m/s, 150 m/s, or higher, is just not controllable

also, I have a new hypothesis

unless you have a super-craft that never stalls or something ridiculous like that, not knowing your stall speed makes landing impossible

@OliverSalzburg I've noticed that in OneDrive there is a tab called tags under Picture and it automatically tags pictures using some sort of voodoo technology. I then use Cortana to show any of these tags. Spooky how well it works.

The thing is, Google Drive Sync is even more of a piece of crap. I don't get how it is possible that application with such a simple task can have such bugs. Especially after being deployed in the wild for so long

I'd give Dropbox a try, but I have massive storage with Microsoft and Google and I'm not going to pay Dropbox as well :P

I would appreciate if the solutions I'm already paying for would work right

Well, if it's already there, you might as well use it, but when you don't need it, it's bad form to use it, because it will just be slower and add an extra layer of abstraction that doesn't really provide any value

Understanding the tools the browser provides to you is more valuable than understanding a library
